Level Up (Restaurant Edition)

SBDC Level Up (Restaurant Edition) is a program presented by the OCIE SBDC Network to assist food-based small business owners to identify when they are ready to expand and drive their food business to the next level. Through this program, business owners will work on putting together their path toward growth as they evaluate and develop their metrics, benchmarks, teams, financials, triggers, and strategies to reach the next level of growth.

The program will focus on the following categories of growth:

• Identifying New Revenue Streams
• Entering New Market Segments/Expanding Customer Base
• Expanding Teams
• Acquiring New Equipment (POS, Touch Screen Ordering, Kitchen…)
• Contemplating New/Additional Locations
